Update: Found out my '87 Ski-Doo has a top speed that's basically a brisk walk

I was looking through the original owner's manual for my old sled, the one I got from a guy in Bemidji. Buried in the specs on page 23, it says the top speed is 38 mph. I always figured it was slow, but that's barely faster than a kid on a bicycle. I guess that explains why I got passed by a snowshoer last season. Has anyone else been shocked by the official numbers on their old machine?

Check page 23 again, that can't be right.

Maybe the page numbers got mixed up, @robinson.jake.

Oh gosh, I actually double checked the PDF and page 23 is totally right for that section. But I think you might be looking at the wrong thing? The chart on page 23 is the one that matches the 2022 data, not the 2023 update. I can see how it gets confusing though because the table labels are really tiny (like, who designed this thing, a gnat?). The corrected numbers from the company email are actually on page 27, right after the section break.
